1. A method of optically monitoring a board game, comprising:
a) acquiring key frame images of said board game from a video stream, wherein each key frame of the board game is partitioned into an array of board squares images; b) extracting shapes of game pieces from said images and training a machine learning module to distinguish between said game pieces and to detect whether each square is occupied or free, and if occupied, with a game piece of which player, and combining the extracted shapes into a matrix that represents the game pieces of each player and blank squares on the board game; c) comparing each key frame image of said board game with a previous one in order to track movement and position of game pieces on said board game during a game session, wherein the extraction of game pieces shapes enables to complete missed or undefined moves; and d) verifying the correctness of said movement according to game/tournament. |
